Hindsight 20/20: Was it a mistake to bench Huard? - Page 3

Believer · 12-17-2006, 10:12 AM

I know. I know. Huard had a bad game at Miami. But in 2001 Brady came off a so-so game vs St.Louis as the Patriots fell to 5-5, but Belichick saw the whole picture, that the Patriots had turned around a 0-2 start by going 5-3 under Brady.

there are good arguments for either side, but i think, since Green has only really had one good game, and last week he stunk to high heaven, its a valid question. Would Huard have had 2 picks, a fumble, and a bunch of sacks?

He wasnt the passer Green is, but he managed the game better and helped the defense.

Just throwing it out there...

I don't care to be a part of this debate any longer, because at this point, it doesn't matter in the least, and you already know where I stand on this.

To be fair, however, LJ's yards per catch was closer to 12 yards.

You don't get it...

It's not tough. I've explained why Huard is a better QB for our team about 9 times in this thread, alone. Try to figure it out.

and Green forces it to Parker rather than letting our playmaker make a play. Makes a WHOLE lot of sense.

(Or maybe he just can't throw it to LJ...he missed a wide open LJ about 3 times against Denver...he was wide open for a TD and Green threw the worst pass I've ever seen to him.)

Reerun_KC · 12-17-2006, 11:44 AM

I get it... but I cant sit here and just blow Huard every single chance I get...

He is on the bench. has been for 10+ years. And unless someone is in dire need next year of a 30+ Career backup, then he will be on the bench agian here or somewhere else.

Green is getting up there and has one year left. I dont see the Chiefs giving Huard starter money when he is a couple years younger than Trent.

So will all that said, He is a backup period.

Hootie · 12-17-2006, 11:46 AM

The smartest move for the Chiefs would be to let Green walk and sign Huard to a three year contract...

When was the last time KC started a QB that they drafted?

They've always taken the career backup route...why stop now? Croyle, whatever, I don't think he's going to be any good.

Reerun_KC · 12-17-2006, 11:49 AM

Hootie, in your opnion it might be the smartest thing for the chiefs to do...

Once they hired Herm they threw smart out the window....

We have 3 more years of petty discussions until there is a new hope for the chiefs organization....

I enjoy the banter though.

StcChief · 12-17-2006, 12:06 PM

No. Green is still our best QB. He's made mistakes, forced some passes.

Would Huard stood up any better against. Ravens, Denver, Cleveland... I have my doubts.

Huard is a great backup.

When was the last time the Chiefs drafted a NFL starter quality QB?

Very good point!

Croyle might be, but like you said, we have a history of drafting QB's....

Maybe we ought to unload Green, Huard, Croyle and trade up to get someone like Brady Quinn and just start over?

I'm high on Croyle.

He has a strong, accurate arm, and the kind of toughness in the pocket that teammates respect.
